Bhan Thai Restaurant

Being from South East Asia, I’m fussy about my Asian food. More so, when we're paying pretty premium whack for it even though it’s a small set up along a village high street. I found the food expensive and not worth what you pay for. The pad Thai we ordered had nothing in it, and tasted like it was swirled around in Del Monte tomato ketchup and sprinkled with a pinch of ground peanut. It should have spring onion, bean sprouts, fried egg, a dash of fish sauce and all the goodies that make a proper pad Thai. It’s very disappointing. The soup was just hot water and lemon grass for flavouring and a token prawn. I would not recommend the place to anyone. For a good reasonable slap up Thai meal, head to Bar Moscow in High Holborn London and order their pad Thai and see what you get for your £5. It puts the place to shame.

Very disappointed by this place. Uncomfortable seating, poor and disorganised service, small portions with ages to wait in between courses. Very expensive with rip-off set meals of £30 per head on Valentine’s Day, no option but to order this meal as no normal menu (this was not disclosed at time of booking). Will not be back after poor £71 meal. Food had little taste. Certainly been to better Thai places.
